Description:
A sometimes controversial exploration of the figure of the child in cinema. Through the image of the child, Vicky Lebeau examines themes such as sexuality, desire, death, loss, difference, the terrors of childhood, imagination and hope. She argues that the child in cinema represents all the ambivalence, hope and fear of modern life.
